Are there any bbs or forums or online group in America for LGBT people?:)

That entirely depends on where in America you are going to. In the coastal metropolitans, people have come around and you will find vibrant gay communities, even whole city quarters, and being gay will be a fact about yourself like the food you like or the music you listen to.

The heartland is a different story, people in rural agricultural states tend to be very religious and “traditional”. Generalizations of course never work well, but there is indeed a distinct difference between the liberal coastal cities and the rural “flyover states”.

LGBT in itself is too broad a topic to recommend any specific online forum. I’m not gay, but from what I hear from my gay friends going on some gay forums that do not correspond to your particular personal orientation can get you flamed even more than outing yourself on some backwater “conservative” forum.

My advise, google your <destination city> + gay

America really isn’t one country. The mindset and attitude of people say from the Southeast and the Northwest couldn’t be any more different. So it really depends on where you are going.

We’ve got everything, from places where you can just be yourself without ever getting any grief for it to places where you will be overtly ostracized for your orientation.

“America really isn’t one country. The mindset and attitude of people say from the Southeast and the Northwest couldn’t be any more different. So it really depends on where you are going.”

This borders on understatement. Look at Capital Hill in Seattle, compare it to Alabama or Texas where state law explicitly states that homosexuality is not an acceptable lifestyle (in fact, those states had the Supreme Court strike down many anti-gay laws, some of which made Russia and Uganda look open-minded), and you’ll see how variable the US is.

So, it really, really, REALLY depends on where in this big (2600 miles x1600 miles, not counting Alaska or Hawaii) country of our’s.

Come to San Francisco! Best city in the USA.

@pWned @jerv @Megan64 Thanks for your answering:)
I did hear about the differences but maybe the things I’ve got before wasn’t exactly true.. Thanks for your information!:)
I like San Francisco a lot but I plan to go to another city which, as far as I know, is famous for its tolerance and diversity to all kinds of people. :) Hope I can get a easier life there..:)

Regarding Seattle, it’s been joked that our annual Gay Pride parade is the third gayest thing here!
